[x3d-public] X3D working group meeting 14 AUG 2020: status conference, webinars, X3DCSAIL, ISO, X3D4

[John Carlson]

Is there an IS (International Standard), as opposed to a CD (Committee
Draft?)?

I was guessing once I got field support working, that events would be
automatic? Not really sure...  I guess I'll have to do the set_, _changed
stuff, but I'm not really sure.  Maybe I should do initializing in the
initialize() method?

I haven't figured out how to call shutdown() yet. document.onunload?

It would seem like if I copied field stuff from Composed Shader/Shader
Part, that I would get the default fields?  I am not really sure.
Should I look at Andreas' ProtoDeclare? Are there other places with fields?

Thanks,

John
